We cannot thank you enough. You made the evening a great success, and the audience fully appreciated your style of music.We so look forward to seeing you next year, if you would do us the honour.'

​ We have been adding some tunes to the set - still in rehearsal but should make the stage in the next week or two - English traditional but with a feminist twist for Sharon to sing. And with our usual up tempo treatments......​ nice compliments from the early evening crowd.Adrian has put together the story of whaling in King's Lynn and through to the 20th century, told through the folk songs associated with the industry, together with narrative (and hopefully film) - watch out for this one......

Only 5 copies of our 4 track EP left!'A rum do!' Recorded live in the studio in Swaffham by Katy, Roger and Adrian. Plans progress for a few days in the studio in the new year.
